My Friends,

I am delighted to share Jessica and John’s engagement photos with you! This is a very special couple from California.

Jessica and John are getting married this May at the beautiful Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida, and their wedding is being planned by my dear friend, Samara Anderson, of Voila Events. Jessica shares my own love for antiques, and she and John are incorporating many “found” objects into their wedding day. Theirs is sure to be lovely wedding, and I am blessed to have the privilege of photographing it.

We chose the Rosa Fiorelli Winery as the location for their engagement session…it is rich with character and history. The open space, rough wood, and bare vines fit Jessica and John perfectly.

Tomorrow I will have more photos to share of a beautiful wedding…filled with vivid reds and bright turquoises. A fabulous wedding, to be sure…

Enjoy!

Many blessings,
Gina

Dearest Friends,

I enjoyed a beautiful engagement session at the Rosa Fiorelli Winery in Bradenton with a lovely couple from California.

This is a wonderful location for a rustic, outdoor wedding! I was delighted to find the wide open space of the expansive vineyard…rows and rows and rows of vines that will be lush and green in February, and filled with clusters of grapes by April. The owner, Antonio, was genuine and warm. He walked around the vineyard with my husband and I and shared his story of his life at his vineyard. It was such a joy to hear of his love for the land and to hear how the work of his own hands developed so prosperously.

I will have more photos to share once my film is developed!

With great affection,
Gina
